I may be moving from New York to Arizona soon.
This means I wont have to worry about snow anymore but I will have to
worry about 100-120 degree summers.

Arr there any special considerations for maintaining a Vanagon in a hot
dry climate that I should be aware of?

Also, if there are any list members in the Phoenix/Tempe/Tucson area I
would like to hear of their experiences, also advice about any repair
shops in the area.
